The Skinny on Fat: Weird Ways to Burn Fat Fast

Pinching your tummy rolls and obsessing a few pounds can get you doing some weird things to burn fat fast. People seem to try almost anything they read online if it means they can shed a few extra pounds.

We’re not advocating you keep with these routines forever. Remember, a healthy weight comes from healthy routines and nutrition. But, if you need to cut for an important event or add some novelty to your mix then have at it.

This post covers a hefty selection of ways to burn stomach fat fast.

Before We Begin: Let’s Take Measurements

Finding your current weight and BMI begins this journey into weight loss. Knowing the weight and BMI, you get to see what’s working and what doesn’t. Get measurements by using a BMI calculator or a body fat scale.

You’ll also set up the following:

• Dietary journal
• Weight loss journal

Apps like MyFitnessPal or SparkPeople can track both diet and exercise. Else, you could use wearables like a Fitbit or Apple Watch to track the progress.

Ready to Burn Fat Fast? Here’s What You’ll Do

Got your baseline? Great! Let’s get weird with how to burn fat fast.

1. Stay Anxious

Fidgeting like pacing and bouncing your leg burns calories each episode. Embrace your anxiety or get jittery with caffeine to kickstart the process.

2. Sleep A Lot

Sleep does two things:

• Makes you eat less food
• Gives the energy to be active

Add some sleeping products if you’re wired and staying up late. Catch a cat nap when it’s available, recharge and dive back into an active lifestyle.

3. AGAD

Chug a gallon a day (of water) since this keeps you hydrated and feeling full. Cold water also requires more energy to consume meaning you’ll burn calories. 

4. Get Frisky

Getting hot and heavy under the sheets can burn between 3 – 4 calories a minute. See it as an exercise routine and give it your all next time. Add a few weird sex positions to add to the fat burning (and fun).

5. LOL

Laughter raises your metabolism and burns calories from physical reactions. Go the extra mile and join a laughing yoga class. This combines yoga with bouts of uncontrollable laughter (if that’s your thing). 

6. Save a Life

Donating blood can save a life but also help you lose weight. The body will begin replenishing its blood supply, putting it in active mode. 

7. Sauna Hack It

Work up a real sweat in the sauna and:

• Burn calories from the activity
• Shed a lot of water weight

Hitting the sauna is a popular activity for fighters before weigh in. Or, fighters will wear sauna suits to sweat like crazy. Be careful with this, but it can shed a ton of weight in a few hours before the big event.

8. Skip Breakfast

Stop eating by sundown and don’t eat until lunch the following day. This is part of intermittent fasting and it’s quite effective in weight loss. 

You Know You Best

Add novelty to the weight loss routine with one of these weird methods. But, do check with your doctor before you try anything promising to burn fat fast. Don’t sacrifice your health for a little less flub on your tummy.
